    Tell me where to go...

    Help, I've messed up my rear suspension :(

    Thanks, I've been googling some more and I see now I needed way more than 90psi. There's a Halfords not too far from my work and I see they do one so could get that tomorrow, is the one they do ok? If not then I'll need to order one online, any recommendations?

    Help, I've messed up my rear suspension :(

When I measured the rear sag it was closer to 50% than the 25% recommended in the manual so...

    Thanks for that, I am a total newbie and will be converting mine to tubeless at some point so that was useful, especially the plastic tyre levers and doing a dry run first.

    Review Proper Cleaner by Guy Martin (Part 2)

    I seem to remember in the dim and distant past being told that they used to put salt into cheap washing up liquid as it allowed the suds to be more frothy in hard water areas, giving the impression that it was better quality and you could use less of it

    Total newbie starting tomorrow

    Thanks, I'll do some research on what to do and how to do it. I'm a complete novice so I don't really know what things should feel like at the moment so it's going to take some experimenting.

    Total newbie starting tomorrow

    Well it arrived this afternoon and there was just time to get the battery charged and get out round the local farm tracks for an hour before it started getting dark I've got all the lever, bar and seat positions ok now but in the tradition of DIY furniture I've got a few bits left over. These...

    Total newbie starting tomorrow

    Thanks guys, and I will start slowly. As I’m pretty much on the border of Lincolnshire anywhere within pedalling range is pretty flat so I’ll be having plenty of practice on rough but level farm tracks and bridleways before going near a slope. I love Cyprus Alexis, be a great place to get out...

    Hi all, never had an EMTB before, never even been mountain biking before, but at the age of 55 I'm getting my first one tomorrow. Gave up motorcycling 4 yrs ago after a a nasty crunch which has left my arms and knees a bit below par and I've been sucked into the idea of this after one of Rob's...
